Question

  

                            
           The N and S labels represent only the magnetic poles of the earth, since magnetic field lines should emerge from the earth at  a south magnetic pole and re-enter the earth at a north magnetic pole.                                   
           The N and S labels represent both the geographic and magnetic poles since both should be at the same end of the earth.                                   
           The N and S labels represent only the geographic poles of the earth, since magnetic field lines should emerge from the earth at  a north magnetic pole and re-enter the earth at a south magnetic pole.       Study the diagram of the field lines representing the magnetic field of the earth. Select the answer that best explains whether the N and S labels on the diagram of the earth's magnetic field represent the magnetic poles, or whether they represent the geographic poles of the earth, or whether they represent both. Answer

Explanation / Answer

The N and S labels represent only the geographic poles of the earth, since magnetic field lines should emerge from the earth at a north magnetic pole and re-enter the earth at a south magnetic pole.
